A novel phosphoinositolglycan-peptide (PIG-P) from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae potently mimicks insulin action on glucose transport and metabolism in rat muscle and adipose tissue. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the cellular signalling pathways of this insulin-mimetic compound. Rapid onset and reversibility of PIG-P action on glucose transport were observed in isolated adipocytes with a half-time of transport stimulation of 6-8 min (insulin less than 5 min). Combined treatment with PIG-P and insulin indicated additive stimulation of glucose transport at submaximal concentrations and non-additive action of both agents at maximal doses. The tyrosine phosphorylation of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) was markedly increased in response to PIG-P in rat cardiomyocytes without any effect on the tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor β-subunit. PIG-P action in these cells was accompanied by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation of several proteins with molecular masses of 15-30 kDa, a response not detected with insulin. Downstream signalling of IRS-1 was then analysed by monitoring IRS-1-associated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) activity in cardiomyocytes. A stable (2 and 15 min incubation with PIG-P) 7-fold stimulation corresponding to about 50% of insulin action could be detected. Increased tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and enhanced PI 3-kinase activity in response to PIG-P independent of the insulin receptor was also observed in isolated adipocytes. Involvement of PI 3-kinase in PIG-P action was subsequently confirmed by the dose-dependent inhibition of PIG-P-activated glucose transport in rat diaphragm and adipocytes by the PI 3-kinase inhibitors wortmannin and LY294002. These data suggest divergent upstream signalling by insulin and PIG-P involving phosphoproteins not affected by insulin. However, PIG-P and insulin action converge at the level of IRS-1 inducing insulin-independent PI 3-kinase-mediated signalling to glucose transport.

A high-fat diet containing polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA: n-3 or n-6) given for 4 wk to 5-wk-old male Wistar rats induced a clear hyperglycemia (10.4 ± 0.001 mmol/l for n-6 rats and 10.1 ± 0.001 for n-3 rats) and hyperinsulinemia (6.6 ± 0.8 ng/ml for n-6 rats and 6.4 ± 1.3 for n-3 rats), signs of insulin resistance. In liver, both diets (n-3 and n-6) significantly reduced insulin receptor (IR) number, IR and IR substrate (IRS)-1 tyrosine phosphorylation, and phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3′-kinase activity. In contrast, in leg muscle, IR density, as determined by Western blotting, was not affected, whereas IR and IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation in response to insulin treatment was restored in animals fed with n-3 PUFA to normal; in n-6 PUFA, the phosphorylation was depressed, as evidenced by Western blot analysis using specific antibodies. In addition, PI 3′-kinase activity and GLUT-4 content in muscle were maintained at normal levels in rats fed with n-3 PUFA compared with rats fed a normal diet. In rats fed with n-6 PUFA, both PI 3′-kinase activity and GLUT-4 content were reduced. Furthermore, in adipose tissue and using RT-PCR, we show that both n-3 and n-6 PUFA led to slight or strong reductions in p85 expression, respectively, whereas GLUT-4 and leptin expression was depressed in n-6 rats. The expression was not affected in n-3 rats compared with control rats. In conclusion, a high-fat diet enriched in n-3 fatty acids maintained IR, IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation, and PI 3′-kinase activity and total GLUT-44 content in muscle but not in liver. A high-fat diet (n-3) partially altered the expression of p85 but not that of GLUT-4 and leptin mRNAs in adipose tissue.

It has been shown that the combination of benzylamine or tyramine and low concentrations of vanadate markedly stimulates glucose transport in rat adipocytes by a mechanism that requires semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) activity and H2O2 formation. Here we have further analysed the insulin-like effects of the combination of SSAO substrates and vanadate and we have studied the signal-transduction pathway activated in rat adipocytes. We found that several SSAO substrates (benzylamine, tyramine, methylamine, n-decylamine, histamine, tryptamine or β-phenylethylamine), in combination with low concentrations of vanadate, stimulate glucose transport in isolated rat adipocytes. Furthermore, SSAO substrates together with vanadate stimulated the recruitment of GLUT4 to the cell surface in isolated rat adipocytes. Benzylamine plus vanadate also stimulated glucose transport and GLUT4 translocation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Benzylamine or tyramine in combination with vanadate potently stimulated the tyrosine phosphorylation of both insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1 and IRS-3. In contrast, benzylamine and vanadate caused only a weak stimulation of insulin receptor kinase. Benzylamine or tyramine in combination with vanadate also stimulated phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity; wortmannin abolished the stimulatory effect of benzylamine and vanadate on glucose transport in adipose cells. Furthermore, the administration of benzylamine and vanadate in vivo caused a rapid lowering of plasma glucose levels, which took place in the absence of alterations in plasma insulin. On the basis of these results we propose that SSAO activity regulates glucose transport in adipocytes. SSAO oxidative activity stimulates glucose transport via the translocation of GLUT4 carriers to the cell surface, resulting from a potent tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and IRS-3 and phosphoinositide 3-kinase activation. Our results also indicate that substrates of SSAO might regulate glucose disposal in vivo.

The effects of insulin and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) on the levels of cellular phosphoinositides were investigated in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Stimulation for 4 min with PMA (1 µM) or insulin (10 nM) increased levels of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 approx. 2-fold and 6-fold respectively. PMA also had a small effect on the cellular levels of PtdIns4P, whereas insulin had no effect on PtdIns4P levels; levels of PtdIns(4,5)P2 and PtdIns3P were not significantly affected by either agent. Insulin increased the levels of the p85α subunit of phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase associated with membranes, whereas PMA decreased levels of membrane-associated p85α. PMA did not increase PI 3-kinase activity in anti-phosphotyrosine or anti-p85 immunoprecipitates. The stimulation of glucose transport by insulin or PMA was blocked by 100 nM wortmannin or 10 ng/ml LY294002, indicating that PI 3-kinase is essential for stimulation by both agents. In summary, these results demonstrate: (1) that PMA and insulin stimulate PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 production by distinct mechanisms in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, and (2) that stimulation of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 production by PMA is likely to be important in signalling pathways leading from PMA stimulation to end-point responses such as glucose transport.

Abstract To examine the effect of thyroid hormone status on insulin action in isolated rat adipocytes, age- and weight-matched Sprague–Dawley rats were rendered hypothyroid (h) by i.p. injection of 2 mCi [131I]/kg. Another group of rats was made hyperthyroid (H) by i.p. injection of 500 μg l-thyroxine/kg/day for 7 days. The T4 levels in experimental groups were: controls, 33·5±0·95; h, 12·3±1·59: H, 133·2±8·8 μg/l. Adipocytes were isolated and 3-O-methylglucose transport (GT), insulin binding (IB) and insulin receptor kinase activity (IRKA) were determined. Subcellular membrane fractions (low-density microsomes, plasma membranes) were prepared and GLUT1 and GLUT4 glucose transporter immunodetected. Hyperthyroidism caused no significant effect on either IB or IRKA but increased insulin-stimulated GT by 43·6%. This increase of GT was associated with an increase of primarily GLUT4 glucose transporters. Hypothyroidism was associated with both increased insulin receptor affinity and enhanced IRKA. Despite a marked reduction of primarily GLUT4 glucose transporters, basal and insulinstimulated GT was not reduced when compared with control. These results suggest that (1) in hyperthyroidism, increased insulin-stimulated glucose transport is associated with an increase of primarily GLUT4 glucose transporters, which may be responsible for the increment of peripheral glucose utilization in hyperthyroidism, and (2) the effect of hypothyroidism on insulin action in adipocytes is characterized by a state of increased insulin sensitivity, as indicated by the increase in insulin receptor affinity and tyrosine kinase activity. Despite the marked reduction of primarily GLUT4 glucose transporters, insulin-stimulated glucose transport is not diminished, which may suggest that functional activity of plasma membrane glucose transporters is enhanced in hypothyroidism.

ABSTRACT Signaling molecules downstream from the insulin receptor, such as the insulin receptor substrate protein 1 (IRS-1), are also activated by other receptor tyrosine kinases. Here we demonstrate that the non-receptor tyrosine kinases, focal adhesion kinase pp125FAK and Src-class kinase pp59Lyn, after insulin-independent activation by phosphoinositolglycans (PIG), can cross talk to metabolic insulin signaling in rat and 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Introduction by electroporation of neutralizing antibodies against pp59Lyn and pp125FAK into isolated rat adipocytes blocked IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation in response to PIG but not insulin. Introduction of peptides encompassing either the major autophosphorylation site of pp125FAK, tyrosine 397, or its regulatory loop with the twin tyrosines 576 and 577 inhibited PIG-induced IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation and glucose transport. PIG-induced pp59Lyn kinase activation and pp125FAK tyrosine phosphorylation were impaired by the former and latter peptide, respectively. Up-regulation of pp125FAK by integrin clustering diminished PIG-induced IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation and glucose transport in nonadherent but not adherent adipocytes. In conclusion, PIG induced IRS-1 tyrosine phosphorylation by causing (integrin antagonized) recruitment of IRS-1 and pp59Lyn to the common signaling platform molecule pp125FAK, where cross talk of PIG-like structures and extracellular matrix proteins to metabolic insulin signaling may converge, possibly for the integration of the demands of glucose metabolism and cell architecture.
